fix: use useShallow for childAgents selector to prevent infinite loop

The childAgents selector in the agent screen was creating a new array
on every render, causing an infinite loop when combined with zustand's
store subscription. Added useShallow wrapper to perform shallow
comparison and prevent unnecessary re-renders.

Also updated plan.md with test results:
- PARTIAL PASS: Fixed infinite loop, agent screen loads correctly
- Sub-Agents menu section displays properly
- Parent/child MCP creation works but parentAgentId not auto-injected
- Added fix task for auto-injecting parentAgentId in MCP server
